* from the outset. 14 RAINEY RUNS JUNTA DEMOCRATS T0 RUIN A Noisy City Convention Whose Rebels Break the Slate. PHELAN ENCOURAGES THE BOLTERS. The Kid-Glove Candidate Objects to King Rainey’s Super- visors. DISGRACEFUL SCENES ON THE STAGE. Hisses, Yells and an Attempt to Hurl Speakers From the Piatform Widen Democracy’s Fatal Feud. It was the verdict of every spectator that saw the disgraceful scenes enacted in Sam Rainey’s Democratic Municipal Con- vention at Odd Fellows’ Hall last night that no more disgusting chapter ever came to light in the history of local politics. The conduct of the boss and his hench- men was such as to disgust the loyers of feir play and widen the breach between warring clans beyond all hope of repara- tion. From start to finish the scenes enacted were riotous, the slate was iron- clad-and the programme cut and dried The chairmar was Dr. Ragan, who knew his slate well. There was one noted excepiion. James D. Phelan, who has been disgusted ever since he had seen the slate on Super- visors, developed strength enough to fore- stall the nomination of Rainey’s hench- men. “He intimidated the boss and forced & postponement of the nominations until to-morrow night by refusing to run on the same ficket with the chattels on whose | necks the unsavory Sam had placed 4is collars. He wanted to run the machine himself. There was nothing calm, deliberate or only. They carried their point, refusing to swell the sack of the bourbons. After William Jordan’s name was pro- posed for Supervisor of the First Ward there wasan ominous silence, after which a motion was carried that the nomination for Supervisors be postponed until ‘Wednesday night, The chairman appeared confused; there were calls for a division when the vote had been taken; then there was a pause, dur- ing which tte knowing ones gave the wink which meant that King Rainay de- sired a postponement, and the motion prevailed. Phelan had triumphed, but the henchmen were sullen and silent, all the same. - R. L. Mann of the Thirty-fourth District nominated John McGovern for County Clerk, whereupon a voice ecried out: *I move we break the slate!” It was then that aged Peter McArdle, a pale, thin man, was rash enough to mount the rostrum. Chairman Ragan recognized him, and Mc- Ardle said: *‘Kellow-citizens, McGovern’s shameful disregard of all former pledges disqualifies him for this honorable position, for — The speaker could go no further on ac- count of a stoym of catcalls and a volley of bisses. There were cries of *Sit down, Whiskers!” “Get onfo your- self!” “Put him out!” and like expressions. Then Sergeant-at-Arms Kennedy, a burly fellow witu the physiog- nomy of a professional bouncer, mounted the stage with the cat-like motion of an acrobat, seized the agea orator by the nape of the neck, and by a lower hoid on his garments was about to hurl the would-be slate-breaker from the platform, whereupon Secretary Saulman stepped in as referee and peacemaker and prevented a general fight, for delegates were yelling, hissing, shaking their fists at one another, pounding on chairs and threatening to do violence. _Quiet was finally restored, whereupon Captain John F. Foley arose to second McGovern’s nomination. He was hissed at the outset, but he finally said: *““Let us cease these disgraceful scenes, quit our bickering and noisy fighting and get down towork. I want to see no more such dis- graceful scenes as we have just witnessed.” McGovern’s nomination was forced on the noisy mob, much to the disgust of a large faction that felt almost angry enough to bolt and leave the hall. L. F. Byington then nominated Richard | L. Whelan for Sheriff amid hisses and | cheers. The nomination was seconded by % “JIMMY” PHELAN'S Fashionable Handshake Startles Democrats. gentlemanly about a single act of the con- - vention, every step of whose deliberations ‘was marred by boorish conduct,bulldozing .and profanity. When Peter McArdle of ‘the Thirty-fifth Assembly.District arose to protest against John F. McGovern’s nomination for County Clerk Sergeant- ‘at-Arms_ Kennedy caught him by the nape of the neck and was about to boost him off ftom the platform in true bouncer style when Secretary Saulman in- terfered. Itseemed for a time that there would be a free fight. McArdle finally fled from the stage in terror amid such hisging as might have eminated from a den of spakes. To cap the growing climax of disgust, after some of the delegates had been rid- den over roughshod by the Rainey hood- lums who ran the machine, E. P. E. Troy arose and said: “I move that we nom- inate for Coroner the boss who owns us— Sam Rainey.” - This.was the signal for cat-calls, hisses and general chaos. The formal business of the convention was simple in the extreme, the programme being carried out substantially as ar- ranged by King Rainey at his home Sun- day night. 3 ‘W. H. Harrison resigned as candidate for Assemblyman in the Thifty-second District, having discovered that as an officer in the customs service he could not run for a State office. J. W. Powers was substituted. At this junctnrea number of candidates for Assemblymen made vigor- orous complaint at an attempt of the sec- retary to assess them $10 each, saying they were responsible to their districts NEW TO-DA: NO REST NO SLEEP i DAY ORNICHT My hands were completely covered with Ec- zema, and between my fingers the skin was perfectly raw.

O'Donnell of the Forty-fourth, then rail- roaded through without serious hitch. There was a great fuss over nominations for County Recorder, Thomas J. Pinder finally defeating Samuel Poliock by a vote of 493 to 78. Curron of the Thirty-fifth declined to vote, saying: “She’s all cut and dried and it does no good to vote or open your amouth here.” Pinder's nomi- nation was fesented in a noisy way by his opponents. Dr. Maximus Magnus was nominated for Coroner before his opponents had a chance to say Jack Robinson. It was then that E. P. E. Troy took the platform and complained that there was no use to hope to beat the slate. ‘‘As who can do nothing else I move we nominate for Coroner the boss who owns us— Sam Rainey. He can run the office as well as he runs the convention.” There were hisses and yells, and Troy fled from the stage before the belligerent sergeant-at- arms could catch him. Captain A. C. Freese was nominated for Public Administrator without adissenting voice, after which there was a call for nominations for District Attorney. No one responded. Then & voice cried, **Are we waiting for the tip from Rainey? Where is he?” Then the knowing ones smiled and John F, Foley moved that the matter be postponed until Wednesday. The motion was carried, for so Phelan had commanded, and Rainey, fearing trouble, had obeyed. The ‘‘push’” was disgruntled, and many said, “We won’t do a thing to that kid-gloved Jimmy when we gets the chance!” William Asmussen was nominated for Treasurer and Professor James H. Sim- mons of the Boys’ High School for Superin- tendent of Schools without a hitch, Delegate Hassett then moved that a committee of eighteen, in addition to the chairman and secretary, be -appointed to select School Directors. The chair ap- pointed the committee, and widened the breach by omitting from the list the man who made the motion. The fol- lowing comprise the committee, and they - will meet at the Flood building to-night: William Turner, Law- rence Brennan, J. T. Cunningham, George Love, John T. Ryan, John A. Holland, J. T. Dowling, L. F. Nye, Wiiliam Crowley, William Handy, T. F. Clarke, Dr. O’Rourke, J. L. Franklin, J. F. Reilly, John W. Davis, A. C. Davis, John A. Lynch ana R. P. Hooe. The convention was now over, the push had been partly thwaited and greatly an. gered, and the breach between the Rainey factions widened beyond hope of repara- tion., It was freely rumored that Phelan had demanded the right to name seven Supervisors, and the men who trade in corruption were 80 angry that they were | pale, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, 'SEPTEMBER 29, 1896. *“This miltionaire art critic demands too much,” said a ward-heeler, ‘“and we will have to get in and turn him down”; and this was the general feeling among the disgruntled, who were numerous. Mr. Phelan was seen after the conven- tion and spoke quite fully on the question of Supervisors, practically admitting that he had encouraged the breaking of the slate. “The ticket proposed developed great weakness in places,” he said, *‘and I en- couraged the movement to bring out bet- ter men in the various wards. In the in- terim between now and Wednesday I think the ticket will be strengthened.” But there are others—many others—who object to the-pulling down of their idols, and who say they will give Mr. Phelan something to meditate over if he persists in throwing stones at the slate duly pre- pared by the powers they respect. There is trouble in the air and the Junta is in great confusion by reason of numer- ous riots in its own wigwams. OFFENDS “DE PUSH.” Phelan’s Record on Sliver and Art Startles the Unwashed. From the developments of yesterday it is apparent that the Democratic party of San Francisco i hopelessly disrupted and divided beyond hope of reconciliation. It was a busy day in the ranks of the warring factions. The “blind devil” of the Bourbons, his Excellency Christopher Buckley, honored the City with his pres- ence all day, deftly pulling wires and lay- ing plans to loot the City. The Democ- racy’s attack on the City treasury did not end, however, with the machinations of the worthy Christopher, for the left wing of the cormorants was under the general- shipof his Royal Majesty Samuel Rainey. Conservative Democrats who have been studying the situation with care lately bave concluded that the Bourbons are hopelessly divided; that the decent men of all shades and colors of Democratic belief are done with bossism, and that their votes will probably relegate Buckley and Rainey to the background for all time. The more minutely one studies the local situation the more serious the various de- fections become. There is a large element bitterly opposed tothe candidacy of James Phelan for Mayor, and several circum- stances contribute to the young mililion- aire’s unpopularity. At the outset heisa “‘goldbug,” and this makes him forbid- den froit to the silverites of the Democ- racy, who look upon any other Democrat than the 16 to 1 brand as worse than Judas of old. As the daysroll on the goid in- fection of Phelan becomes moredangerous to his prospects, for as the silver men grow more voluble they grow more angry. In the hearing of many crazy silverites the mention of Phelan’s name hasalready become like a red flag in the sight of an angry bull. Another great point of objection to Phelan in the eyes of many is that he de- clined to go to the Chicago Convention as a yeoman for his party. Many look upon this as tbe anpardonable sin, and they will remember Phelan in_tie booth at the solemn hour when the spirits of just men mete out equity to the erring. The fact that Mr. Phelan is a millionaire art critic and connoisseur in matuers liter- ary has alienated many voters from him in the regions of aense and unchanging Democracy. A canvass 1n the thickly populated Democratic precincts south of Market, where a *‘biled” shirt is a crime, sbows that ‘‘de push” of the Bourbons cannot swallow ‘‘de guy what wears kid gloves.” Insignificant as these objections may seem in cold print they are a potent influ- ence in the realms of the Democracy. Mr. Phelan begins to reafize that he is re- garded as a man to be feared for his clot hes, his education and his manners. There is a rumor that Roosevelt, the purist, is Phelan’s ideal and that he would do all in his power to make the City as holy as the silent cities of New Englana, that he would ‘‘Roosevelt the town,” and to the average Democrat nothing could be more terrible than such a misfortune. The masses are beginning to fear that Phelan’s eiection would mean a long farewell to side entrances and steam bear—calamities that the Democrats will avert at any cost. E i A DIMOND’S CAMPAIGN. War Against the Charter and for Municipal Ownership cf Utllities. Joseph L Dimond, the candidate of the Buckleyites for Mayor, who will undoubt- edly be indorsed by the Populists, declared yesterday that he was going to make an aggressive fizht against the new: charter and in favor of the municipal ownership of vas and water works. “If there develops any organized fight against the charter I will take part in it,” sdid Mr. Dimond yesterday, *“and if there is not I will do what I can by my own efforts. “I think the greatest misfortune that could befall this City - would be its adoption. It confers the powers of a Czar on the Mayor, and enables one man who would be the tool of corporations if they could elect their candidate, to exercise far greater power then any boss who ever ruled the City. It would enable him to perpetuate himself in power or to name his successor. *‘Its friends are now beginning to admit that there are faults in the charter, but they say that it car be amended; but the charter contains no provision for amend- ment and when we fall back on the general law and the constitution we find that once in two years an amendment could be submitted to the people and then & three-fifths vote would he required for its adoption. A boss- ridden government might prevent amend- ments being submitted to the people, and all around the chances are against any amendment. “Although the Mayor under the present law has not great independent power he can exercise & very powerful infiuence by wise efforts, if he takes an active part in the affairs of the City. “One of my other objections to the char- ter is that it draws the public schools into politics. “If I were elected Mayor, I would advo- cate strongly the municipal ownership of water and light’ plants by the City, The existing law Fi"u us the right to pur- chase exisfing plants or to acquire new ones. There have been laid before the Bupervisors plans that would undoubtedly reduce water rates from $7 to $2. I believe in bonding the City to ac- quire these urilities. This is the les- son -taught bfl all cities owning such works. et the Krobosmon be submitted to tke people and I believe that ;hey would vote overwhelmingly in its avor. I believe in the dollar limit and in fact in a less rate. This City could be run handsomely on $4,000000 a year. The whole remedy for bad government is to elect a good Board of Supervisors. Let the people select honest, able and worthy men.”” Mr. Dimond’s friends say that his cam- paign will be a vigorous and aggressive one when it gets started. — ‘‘Prisoner of Zenda’’ Seat Sale. The reopening of the Baldwin Theater on October 5 will serve to inaugurate the autumn and winter season in. this City with a briiliant | d. attraction, as Daniel Frohman’s Lyceum Thea- ter success, ““The Prisoner of Zenda,” is to take the boardsof the Baldwin on that night. “The Prisoner of Zenda” has established itself as the greatest romantic success in years. a E‘" 11 calls for high praise. *‘The Prisoner of enda” is to be presented here on the same scale of elaborateness as at the Lycenm Theatre, New York. The cast will be headed by James K. Hackett and Isabel Irving. Others to a e]en here are Charles Walcot, Howard Goul alter S. Hale, Albert Grau, Maude Odell, R. J. Dustan. The sale of seats will begin to- MOIrow MOrning. POPULISTS TAKE P THE BUCKLEVTES Thomas Cator and Chris Buckley Effect a Great Deal. MAYOR TO LEGISLATURE Preparing to Put Up Candidates for All the Lccal O:fices. DIMOND’S ANTI-CHARTER WAR Buckleyites Kick Frank J. Murasky From Their Ticket and Plan a Hot Campaign. The regular local Democracy, otherwise known as the Bucklevites, has played an- other trump. They have effected a fusion with the Populists and expect to add the force of the local Populist party to the biow they will deal to Sam Rainey’s out- iit, and especially to James D. Phelan and to the Junta legislative ticket. The local Buckleyite and Populist lead- ers have been in constant consultation re- cently, and the upshot is thatthe Popu- lists have agreed to indorse the Buckley ticket practically from top io bottom. The Buckleyites had to bid high for this ally. The Populists are to get half the municipal patronage for one thing. The most important feature of the deal, however, is that the Buckleyites are all to vote for T. V. Cator for the Senate. This is really the nigger in the woodpile. While Cator has been busy throughout the State making combinations for the Legislature on the basis of Populist As- semblymen for himself and Democratic Assemblymen for White two years hence he has not for a moment neglected tie eighteen Assemblymen who are to be elected from this City, and this outcome is the result of his studying, pulling and ex- ercise of jndgment. = However, otber things made the condi- tions favorable for a local fusion with the Buckleyites, rather than with the Junta. The Buckleyites are the siver wing of the local Democracy, while the goldbugs are herded in the Rainey camp. That is partly why Joseph gI. Dimond, the Buckley candidate, will indorsed instead of James D. Phelan, uniess a hard- and-fast bargain be broken unexpectedly within two days. Phelan is an out-and- out gold man, and reinsed to go to the Chicago convention as a delegate for that reason. That surely puts Phelan out of the race for indorsement. John Daggett and the rest of the gold men who run the Junta are equally distasteful to the Popu- lists, Oa the other hand Dimond is an avowed advocate of the public ownership of public _utilities, the cardinal feature of the Populist muni- cipal policy, and after looking him up one side and down the other the Populists have decided that he is all right. The Populists did not take up the ticket last nignt, but the programme will un- doubtediy be carried out during the week. Sam Braunhart, the Junta candidate for Senator in the Nineteenth District, seems likely to win indorsement, but the excep- tions to the indorsement of the Buckley legisla(ive ticket will probably be few. The Buckleyites i:ave other trumps up their sieeve. Their suit.to get on the offi- cial ballot as Democrats is now pending before the Supreme Court and a decision is expected this week. If they are denied ti e use of the pul’lf name conjointly with the Juma, they will instantly make other important moves in the courts and the tangle and the uncertainty of litigation may continue until election day. They will, however, be prepared for emergencies, and to gnard against the possibility of being kept off the ticket altogether they will prepare a petition containing the names of 3 per cent of the voters, and will file it atleast twenty days before election with the Registrar. They will thus be sure of getting on the ticket by petition, if in no other way, and will continue their legal battle during the rest |. of the time. All possibility of union with the Junta wing of the local Demociacy is conceded to be past, and the Hyht will goon to tue deatn. The Buckleyites are perfecting arrangements for a perfectly organized fight on the plan of Tammany Hall, hav- ing district and precinct men to work, watch and report and act in harmony with and under the orders of the bosses in higher authority. Tu:e Buckleyites will d1.igently ply the knife on Phelan and the rest of the Rainey ticket. Phelan will make a pro-charter figh t and Dimond an anti-charter fight, and the local Demo- cratic fur will fly. B — A BLOW AT MURASKY. The Buckleyites Kick HIm Off Thelr Judiclal Tickst. The regular weekly meeting of the gen- eral comimittee of the Buckleyites at headquarters last evening was a big but a brief one. Many members of the faction were out at the Populists’ tent to see how their fusion with the Pops was getting along, and half of those who were at the meeting wanted to go. About all the business that Chairman Rothschild and Secretary D. M. Gavigan had to direct was the settlement with Frank J. Murasky for having “‘thrown them down” and accepted a nomination for Superior Judge from the Junta conven- tion. At the time the Buckley convention was in session Murasky's friends worked hard to secure his nomination for the Superior vench, and succeeded. Then the Junta convention came along, and Murasky’s political friends played for that nomina- tion. As the Junta resolved at the start not to indorse a single candidate of the Buckleyites, a resignation from that ticke: was a requisite, Here was a dilemma, and 1n it the Murasky council decided on the resignation, hoping to .”E the other nomination, too, by squaring things later. During the time last week when the judicial slate of the Junta was being made H}, Stephen V. Costello of the law firm of enley & Costello was certain of the nomination, and he was on the slate until 6 P. M. of the day when the nominations were made. At that late hour Joseph E. 0’Donnell, Frank J. Smith and others in- terested in Murasky, succeeded in gettiniz him on the slate, and to make room for him Costello was pulled down. The Buckleyites instantly declared war on Frank J. Murasky, and they declared that they “wouldn’t do a thing to him.”” Smith, O'Donneli and others have for ays been making frantic efforts to square the thing. Their success is indicated in the following carefully prepared resolu- tions, introduced last night by P. H. Shanley and aaopted with a whoop: WHEREAS, A declination of a nomination for Superior Judge made by our late convention has been ueo‘m from Frank J. Murasky at the command of the boss of the Junta couven- tion, whose nomination for the said office Murasky has received and which was made conditional upon the aid declination being forwarded to this committee; and - WHEREAS, Itisa fact that the iriends of the said Frank J. Murasky did persistantly haunt the rooms or headquarters of this committee for days and nighis prior to the assembling of our late municipal nomiuating conventiou and did pl.g the role of button-holers in be- half of e aspiring Murasky for ju- dicial honmors; and wherehs, the repre- of Murasky's friends as his individuality and high sense of honor, so impressed the delegates of our late convention that it resuited in his unanimous nomination by the convention for Superior Judge; and whereas, the said Murasky gave his word of honor as a man that “if nominated he would not be influenced by any man, set of men, or organization, to deciine the nomination which he was then sceking, and that he would not consider himsel{ & man if he was guilty of such action”; and whereas, Murasky tofurther his ambition to become a Judge of the Superfor Court of the State of Clllfnru?l in_and for the City and County of San Francisco has seen fit to repudiate and decline the said nomination which be sought as aforesaid ; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Gen- eral Committee of the Democratic party of the City and County of San Francisco, approve of the action of the committee on vacancies in taking off and erasing the name of Frank J. Murasky, candidate for Superior Judge, from our ticket; and be it further Resolved, That we call upon all members of this General Committee and the supporters of this organization to oppose the election of Murasky. Resolved, That the citizens of San Fraucisco are counseled against placing upon the Supe- rior bench & man who nhas thus given evidence of a weak and vacillating organization which is not in harmony with the requirements of a Juage of the Superior Court in passing upon personal and property rights, the object for which all government is instituted. Resolved, That 75,000 copies of the aforesaid preamble and resolutions be printed for dis- tribution among the registe: electors of the City and County. The committes on vacancies, consisting of James I. Stanton, Samuel Newman, Charles McCuth, J. J. Flynn and W. F. Humpbrey, will in a day or two name ex- Judge F. W. Lawler 1n Murasky’s place. Lawler was an aspirant_for the Buckley nomination for Superior Judge, but, it is said, he was kept off to make room for Murasky. Lawler was nominated for Police Judge, but declined the nomination next day. Now he will go back on the ticket. It was decided to have a meeting of the candidates, the executive committee and the purity committee on Thursday even- ing and the committee adjourned.

F. Auzerais has again married. This time the young sculptor nhas chosen for his bride a Miss Covell of Oakland. The young lady is a trained nurse, well known in the city across the bay. The wedding ceremony occurred in Paris during the present month and was a ties. The particulars gleaned regarding the ceremony are necessarily meager, owing to the reticence of those who know most about it. It will be remembered that after Au- zerais’ first wife obtained a divorce from him and married Hereward Hoyt their troupe went to Alaska and made a great financial failure. It then returned to San East. From time to time rumors are wafted over the Rockiesthat Mrs. Hoyt's second marital venture, so far as incom- | patipbility of temperament is concerned, has not been more successful than her first. - Auzerais himself then went to Paris, where he has now astonished ‘his friends by remarrying. That he believes mar- riage with actresses not a successful ven- ture is evidenced by his recent cnoice. Who Is toManyaPrqfessq; of Edinburgh, Scotland, 2 city, and Eugene Neustadt, M. C. P. of ‘Watson’s College of Edinburgh, Scotland, ‘was announced to-day. - Miss Newland is a native daughter of California and is a musician of more than local fame. She made her debut atthe commencement exercises of Snell’s Sem- inary in 1885 after careful training by local teachers. She made a decided suc- cess, but was not satisfied with herself and finally went to Europe to study under the masters of the Continent. It was while in London in 1892 preparing for her studies that Miss Newland met her fate. The acquaintance made then continued during her stay abroad and ripened into a mautual affection. Among a few intimate friends the mai- ter of her engagement was spoken of. Miss Newland has sung atall the best musical functions; at the Loring Club con- certs; at the Carr Beel Pops; with the Oakland Ensemble Club and the Har- monic Society; at John W. Metcaif and Robert Tolmie pianoforfe recitals; with Sigmund Beel and Mrs. Carr at the Athe- nmum, Berkeley; at Stanford University; with Hermann Brandt, Louis Heine and Ella Partridge; at the best concerts in San Jose and Sacramento, at Burlington, Iows, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Neaustadt 1s a native of France, his father being German and his mother French. Heis a graduate of Heidelberg University and gets his title from London, where he was made master of the College of Preceptors. For the past eighteen vears he has been the head of the French department of Watson’s College, the Iargest boys’ school in Great Britain. He was a visitor to America in 1876, coming here to attend the Centennial. Bound for Bail. Attorney George D.

Silverites Keep the Bryan Cam- palgn From Wholly Lan- guishing. The Democratic campaign continues to be conducted mainly at the expense of the millionaire silver miners and® by the silver organization. W. P. Lawlor, chairman of the Silver campaign committee, believes in campaign novelties and can afford them. The magic- lantern advertising men on Market street find him their best-paying patron. Lawlor has just found the first free- gilver preacher whose interest in politics has been announced and has hired Metro- politan Temple for him for Thursday evening. He is Rev. Edwards Cator Davis, the sensational young Christian minister of Oakland. . The Silverites have hired both the Grove-street. Theater ard Union Hall, which was formerly Morosco’s, for the campaign. They will be used as head- quarters for free-silver workingmen’s or- ganizations and for workingmen’s mass- meetin, ‘The silverites are expecting to send forth uite a horde of speakers soon. Most of ?hom will be Democrats well known in former campaigns. Congressman Maguire will speak in Los Angeles on the 30th inst., on his way home from the East. The Democratic State Central Com- mittee has just issued 1ts first bit of campaign literature.
